Liked: Staff & service
The hotel itself was brilliant. However the extremely loud guests in the hallway in the middle of the night weren’t. If people are checking in or out to go flights at all hours maybe a reminder is needed that the walls aren’t soundproof and waking up the whole floor is not appropriate
